"I want him to be more aggressive, attack the rim even more," Vaughn said. "I want him to think 'aggressive' from the time he laces up his shoes in the morning until the time he takes them off at nighttime."

Oladipo has shown a knack for attacking the hoop and drawing fouls.

On Wednesday, he took three foul shots and made all three.

The rookie is averaging 3.8 free-throw attempts per game this preseason.

Free-throw frenzyMaurice Harkless worked on his ball-handling during the offseason, and he has been much more aggressive driving to the hoop during the preseason than he was last season as a rookie.

Harkless has taken 21 free throws in the Magic's four preseason exhibitions.

He's made 76.2 percent of them.

Last season, he made 57.0 percent of his attempts from the line.

Nicholson's treysAndrew Nicholson had his best offensive game of the preseason on Wednesday, scoring 15 points in 27 minutes.

Nicholson made six of his eight shots from the field, including three of four from 3-point range.

Over the summer, Nicholson sought to increase his shooting range after he didn't attempt any 3-pointers during his rookie season.

Nicholson has made five of his eight 3-point tries so far this month.
